Abstract: A aqueous solution that includes water, from 100,000 to 300,000 ppm of dissolved solids, from 0.5 to 3 gallons per thousand gallons of a water-in-oil emulsion, and an inverting surfactant. The water-in oil emulsion includes an oil phase and an aqueous phase where the oil phase is a continuous phase comprising an inert hydrophobic liquid and the aqueous phase is present as dispersed distinct particles in the oil phase. The aqueous phase contains water, a water soluble polymer, and surfactants. The water soluble polymer includes 30 to 50 weight percent of a non-ionic monomer, 5 to 15 weight percent of a sulfonic acid containing monomer, and 40 to 60 weight percent of a cationic monomer. The water soluble polymer makes up from 10 to 35 weight percent of the water-in-oil emulsion.

Abstract: The invention relates to concentrated liquid cleansing compositions in lamellar phase which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. The use of a specific ratio of synthetic anionic surfactant(s) and co-surfactant(s) to fatty acid(s) in a structured liquid product was found to improve lather production by moderating or eliminating the increase in viscosity upon dilution. In a further embodiment, specific small hydrophobic molecules were found to improve freeze/thaw stability and thereby cause the inventive composition to maintain noticeable moisturization signals.
